We found granulosa cells of low responders (LR) expressed more LH receptors, suggesting that follicles were more luteinized than normal responders (NR). The objectives were to test the hypothesis that follicles of LR were more luteinized than follicles of NR, and to determine if LR with (LR+) and without (LR-) ovarian antibodies differed.
